Some Common Driver’s License Issues:
(1) A driver receives a citation for a traffic offense that involves a license suspension. The driver, not realizing that his license will be suspended, pleads guilty and pays the fine just to get it over with and move on. A few weeks later, the driver receives Notice of Suspension from PennDOT.
(2) Same facts as above in number (1). But in this case, the driver has moved to a new address without notifying PennDOT of the change. PennDOT will now send the Notice of Suspension to the old address, and PennDOT’s mailings will not be forwarded to the new address even if the driver has submitted a Change of Address form to the Post Office. The driver may not even realize his driving privilege is suspended for several months or even years.
(3) A driver is convicted or pleads guilty to a criminal or traffic offense that triggers a PA driver’s license suspension. In order to begin receiving credit towards the suspension, the driver surrenders his license to PennDOT. However, the driver retains possession of a duplicate, camera card, or other “license product.” PennDOT will not give credit towards the suspension until all license products have been surrendered.
(4) A driver has been arrested for DUI and the arresting officer has notified PennDOT that the driver refused to submit to a blood or breath test (a “Chemical Test Refusal”). PennDOT is now imposing a suspension that goes into effect more or less immediately. The suspension will become effective unless action is taken right away.
(5) An out-of-state driver is having trouble obtaining or renewing a driver’s license in another state as a result of convictions or suspensions in Pennsylvania from years ago.
(6) A driver has been issued a citation and is unsure if the charge would trigger points or a license suspension if convicted.
In any of the above situations, time is a huge factor. Pennsylvania Driver's License attorney Richard Emhof has helped many clients to avoid or reduce their drivers license suspensions. In all cases, it is crucial to take action right away.
